Then the Panthers scored 4 times in the second half and rolled past Lake Park 5-0 in the afternoon.

Against the Lancers, Salgado scored twice and assisted on another goal. Eddie Ramirez, Christian Navarro and Lorenzo Cortez scored the others. Ramirez, a freshman, assisted on the first two goals.

The Panthers have also been dealing with some injuries, so they've needed some younger players to step up.

"We played against some really good teams, and we have to find ways to win," Round Lake coach Hugo Tellez said. "We have a way of practicing together. We seem not lose a beat out there."

Round Lake keeper Jose Martinez earned a clean sheet against Maine South (7-2-4, 1-1-1) with 4 saves. He made 5 saves against Lake Park (7-6, 0-3). Panthers backup keeper Adis Sator came it late for a save against the Lancers.

Lake Park was shut out by Maine South 1-0 on Friday and was edged by Prairie Ridge 2-1 on Saturday morning.

"We were outshot in the first half," Lake Park coach Anthony Passi said of the Saturday loss. "We just couldn't put the ball into the back of the net after that. It helped to change the formation a bit (in the second half)."
